Re: Are you on Goodreads.com?

Just received my September New Releases email today ... I've also been a member for years.   Great way to keep up with what's out there.

Can you tell me how to sign up for the new releases email? I didn't know they offered that!

Re: Are you on Goodreads.com?

I have been a  Goodreads member for a few years now.  I love the way it helps me keep track of what I have read and I use the reviews before I decide what to buy.  I was not aware of the  new release email feature though.

Thanks for the links but I don't see a way to sign up. It just dawned on me that maybe you get a monthly digest with that info in it. When I have more time I'll have to look into that.

 

@6kids, I too read reviews at goodreads, and amazon, before buying a book. Goodreads usually has many more reviews for the stuff I'm looking at than amazon does.

Re: Are you on Goodreads.com?

I'm a member of Goodreads.  I used to be more active by participating in some of the chat rooms, but lately I've just been using it for reviews of books, suggestions for new books and keeping track of what I've read.

 

I'm a mystery/intrigue/suspense person.  Not into a lot of romance.

Re: Are you on Goodreads.com?

Yes, I've also been on Goodreads for years. I've been really happy with their acquisition by Amazon because of the Kindle integration. I love that my new Kindle asks me if I want to add a new book to my Currently Reading list and that rating a book when I finish it moves it to the Read list. So, so easy! Just yesterday I got a new software push to my Kindle Voyage and noticed that I could also update my progress with each book at the press of an icon.

 

I'm in a book club and the other ladies in my book club are also on Goodreads. That's nice because we can compare To Read lists when we pick books and keep track of what members have already read.

Regarding your first paragraph ... no,  it's a separate Monthly Newsletter specifically for new releases by genre.   Maybe I signed up for it when I joined ...not sure; but I've been receiving it every month, in addition to other material.   HTH ...

Re: Are you on Goodreads.com?

OK, I found it. When logged in goodreads, click on MY ACCOUNT. Click on the EMAILS tab. You'll see 'Newsletters and Other Mail' and the option to click on 'Send me the monthly New Releases email'.
